GM Stops Funding a Leading Group of Global Warming Deniers

General Motors has pulled support from the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based nonprofit well known for attacking the science behind global warming and climate change.

The automaker told the Heartland Institute last week that it won’t be making further donations, spokesman Greg Martin said. At a speech earlier this month, GM CEO Dan Akerson said his company is running its business under the assumption that climate change is real.
